MUSIC OF THE SPHERES

The Stradivarius of Wind Chimes

Tenor Tuned Handcrafted Windchimes

This Tenor Wind Chime has a rich, full sound and resonant sustain, slightly higher pitched than the Bass Wind Chimes. It is available in all ten of the tunings used by Music Of The Spheres. The wonderful tones of the ten tunings can be heard by clicking on the appropriate links below, and there's a brief description/history of the tuning for your information. After deciding on your choice, please be sure to indicate which tuning you prefer from the drop down box under the picture above.

One of their most popular tunings, the major Pentatonic scale is the most widely used melodic scale in the world, dating from ancient Greece. Its pattern is familiar as the black notes of the piano keyboard. The chime contains all the notes to "Amazing Grace" as well as "The Eyes of Texas". It blends best with the Hawaiian.

A musical palindrome, the Quartal scale is based on intervals of fourths and fifths. Its smooth and serene sound captivated American composers, notably Aaron Copland and Paul Hindemith, in the early twentieth century.

The Mongolian scale, a livelier version of the Chinese, is reminiscent of church and temple bells. The major pentatonic scale in root position in the key of A, it harmonizes nicely with the Aquarian. Genghis Khan conquered an empire unmatched in size, yet never heard chimes as lovely as these.

The Hawaiian scale is Polynesian in flavor, reminiscent of a tangy sweet & sour sauce and tropical island breezes. It combines the best of major and minor pentatonic scales. Mix Hawaiian with Pentatonic for a lovely multi-cultural effect.

Claude Debussy, inspired by Balinese music at the 1896 Paris Exposition, began composing with this atonal scale, used for example in his piece "La Mer". Later, television's original Star Trek used it in the "beaming up" sequences. TV and film scores frequently feature it for underwater scenes, dream and "flashback" sequences.

The windcatcher, of the same finish and material as the tubes, is the ideal size, weight, and shape for optimal chime performance in 8 - 10 mph wind velocity. The corrosion protective finish provides durability in all kinds of outdoor environments (acid rain, salt air, etc.)

The clapper slides on the central cord up into the ring creating a convenient "off-on" feature.

Windcatchers can also be easily removed to subdue chime activity under blustery conditions.

A rigorous final inspection ensures that your chime is up to our high standards of acoustic and visual quality.

Durability also guaranteed by Music Of The Spheres:

- 7 years outdoors for Soprano, Mezzo-Soprano and Alto

-15 years outdoors for Tenor and Bass

-15 years outdoors Basso Profundo

Made in the U.S.A.
